General Meetings

General Meetings are held at 2:00pm on the first Wednesday of most months at the Winmarleigh Rooms, Winmarleigh House, Winmarleigh Street, WA1 1NB. All members are welcome. There is usually a talk by an invited speaker, followed by a chance to socialise with other members and to talk to group leaders.

See below for details of the general meetings and any social events.

These are followed by events for groups whose meetings don't fit a standard pattern or have very varying topics, such as external visits or outside speakers, and are in alphabetical order of group. You normally need to be a member of a group to attend a group event. For normal group meetings, see the Groups page.

Starring Helen Mirren 'The Hundred-Foot Journey' is an uplifting and feel good comedy bursting with flavour, passion and heart. When the icy proprietress of a Michelin-starred French Restaurant in the quaint village of Antonin-Noble-Val gets wind of the Kadaam family opening an Indian restaurant just 100feet away from her own, her protests escalate to all out war between the two establishments. But as these two worlds collide, despite their different tastes they find an unlikely source of compromise that will change each side forever....

Tea with Mussolini
A story of civilised disobedience.
Tuscany, 1935, a group of ladies walk along the streets of the city deservedly considered one of the world's art pearls, Florence. We don't know the ladies at first but, in time, we find them intelligent women who perfectly understand English but hardly understand orders. These are Scorpioni, elderly English women who will play a decisive role in the story as well as in the life of a young boy, Luca, strikingly similar to the director himself in his youthful years, Franco Zeffirelli...
Director: Franco Zeffirelli
Writers: John Mortimer, Franco Zeffirelli (autobiography)
Stars: Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Joan Plowright,Cher

Sully- Miracle on the Hudson
The story of Chesley Sullenberger, an American pilot who became a hero after landing his damaged plane on the Hudson River in order to save the flight's passengers and crew.
Director: Clint Eastwood
Writers: Todd Komarnicki, Chesley Sullenberger
Stars: Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney

'The movie is economical and solid, and generally low-key when it’s not freaking you out. That it unnerves you as much as it does may seem surprising, given that going in, we know how this story ends…
